Description: "Language, Ecology and Society presents a view of language and ecology from a dialectical perspective. In this analysis, language is seen as a multidimensional phenomenon, which both shapes and is shaped by mind, nature and society. Contributing to the field of ecolinguistics, this volume proposes a new paradigm termed Dialectical Linguistics, pioneered by Jorgen Christian Bang and Jorgen Door and based on research spanning three decades. The book argues for a politically and morally responsible approach to language and linguistics."--BOOK JACKET.
